What are the steps to configure dns in Red Hat 5?
The domain name server (dns) usually uses a program
called BIND (Berkeley Internet Name Domain),
or named.
So configuring dns is not specific to any
operating system or OS version.
Configuring dns, like many other things in
the unix family, is done in text files.
Users new to BIND configuration can use graphical tools
to quickly set up a working DNS server.
In Red Hat and Fedora,
the system-config-bind package provides a graphical user interface (GUI)
to configure named, with a set of python modules.
here's how
— a very very very good explanation and
how-to for dns and BIND
